System Change Investing

Corporate sustainability and Sustainable/Responsible Investing (SRI) have gone mainstream. But environmental and social conditions nevertheless are declining rapidly.

Nearly 100% of these movements are focused on about 20% of the problem – voluntary mitigation of negative environmental and social impacts. Flawed economic and political systems make it impossible for companies to mitigate about 80% of negative impacts.

Mid-level system change (sector-level) and high-level system change (overarching economic, political and social system-level) are essential for achieving sustainability and real prosperity.

The first System Change Investing (SCI) approach (Total Corporate Responsibility – TCR®) was developed in 2003. It provides practical and profitable ways for companies and investors to engage in collaborative mid-level and high-level system change.

SCI represents the leading-edge in the corporate sustainability and SRI areas. The system change-focused approach enables companies to implement the most advanced and effective sustainability strategies.

SCI also enables financial institutions to develop investment products that provide superior financial returns and greater environmental and social benefits than any other type of SRI.

In addition to the TCR articles shown below, many other SCI articles are shown on the Articles page.
